14 DAY TRIAL // Celebrities are humans just like you or me and from time to time they even indulge in some of the usual pleasures that we find relaxing, like playing video games. We've seen quite a lot of actors or singers proclaim their love for video games, but some of them, who appear in video games, haven't really talked about it.
Mike Tyson, one of the most famous boxers of all time, has been one such example, as he starred in a lot of boxing titles over the years, including the ever so popular Punch-Out game for the old Nintendo Entertainment System. As the brand new revamp of the game will appear soon for the Wii, MTV talked with him about it, hoping to hear what details Nintendo had given him.
Shockingly, the boxer wasn't aware of this new revamp of the old game, thinking at first that the reporter was talking about EA Sports' Fight Night: Round Four, which is due to be released at the end of June this year with Tyson on the cover. He then remembered the first time he played the original Punch-Out and how bad he was at it, recognizing that he got thrashed by other players.
“Iron” Mike then revealed to MTV that he was definitely into video games, especially those that had an interesting story, like the ones in the Resident Evil or God of War franchises, of which he was a huge fan. The boxer then emphasized that sports games weren't really his thing, as he took up boxing when he was young because he wasn't good at any other disciplines.
All in all, it's pretty nice to see that even a great boxing legend like Mike Tyson can indulge in a few video games just like the rest of us, and, again like a lot of people, isn't very good at all of them.
